Memory cards and chart cards
MicroSD memory cards can be used to back up /
archive data (e.g. Waypoint, and Tracks). Once data is
backed up to a memory card old data can be deleted
from the system, creating capacity for new data. The
archived data can be retrieved at any time. Chart cards
provide additional or upgraded cartography.
It is recommended that your data is backed up to a
memory card on a regular basis. Do NOT save data to
a memory card containing cartography.
Compatible cards
The following types of MicroSD cards are compatible
with your display:
• Micro Secure Digital Standard-Capacity (MicroSDSC)
• Micro Secure Digital High-Capacity (MicroSDHC)
Note:
• The maximum supported memory card capacity
is 32 GB.
• MicroSD cards must be formatted to use either
the FAT or FAT 32 file system format to enable
use with your MFD.
Speed class rating
For best performance it is recommended that you use
Class 10 or UHS (Ultra High Speed) class memory
cards.
Chart cards
Your product is pre-loaded with electronic charts
(worldwide base map). If you wish to use different chart
data, you can insert compatible chart cards into the
unit's memory card reader.
Use branded chart cards and memory cards
When archiving data or creating an electronic chart
card, Raymarine recommends the use of quality
branded memory cards. Some brands of memory card
may not work in your unit. Please contact customer
support for a list of recommended cards.
